Many artificial flavoring extracts are
used in foods and drinks, such III amylic

ether and caprylic alcohol, which initiate
the odor and flavor of the apple, the

find them poisonous in considerable
quantities. Int harmless in the usual

on the 10th of Sept. he went mile in

made his 1854 over the same course,
drawing his owner. who weighed Isl lbs.
Mr.. Nelson thinks, and quite properly,
that his colt could trot over the same
track with $50 pounds up in 2:22, and
over the Washington Park course could
break the three-year-old record of , 10 -,

had no speed left. Mr. Nelson further
says that the colt never wore bandage
in his life, and that his limbs are as
smooth as a suckling's and as cool as
though they were kept on ice" If some
of our readers would take a few lessons
in colt handling of Mr.. c. II. Nelson, of

isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circuation Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in Tor this department
The REGISTER should be taken by every
one who has particle OF interest in the horse.
The price is but sl.50 per year. Tell your
neighbors. Spread the circulation. We want

country, from Maine to California and there
are several it does not yet reach.

How the Sunday Opening Plan is Pro-
crossing.

How the sunday opening Plan Is Pro-
crossing.
When the question of opening the New
York museums to the public on Sundays was
first proposed it had many less adherents than
it has now. At that time-several years ago
even those citizens inclined to liberalism felt
very delicate about handling the Sun
day question. 1t was an untried and
seemingly dangerous experiment. a COM
plete change from old customs, opposed
to old laws and old sentiments. Since
then, however, the public has either
grown a long way toward the Sunday open
ing or it has grown nearer to them. Perhaps
its progress was helped along by the success
which met the introduction of music into
Central park on Sundays. This is now an
established Sunday amusement, and a de-
corous one withal. Sunday" say those who
favor Sunday opening, sis the laboring
mans day. Art and music are educators;
not only educators, but apostles and makers
of proselytes. There is no way during the
week when these two, man and art, can reach
one another Yet they should and must
come together On the other hand it is
held that the proposed innovation will tend
to greatly increase the dissertation of the
Sabbath, which the opponents of the plan
bold is already too general in New York.

SUNDRY LETTERS.
DAM OF SHERMAN BLACK HAWK.
CALDWELL, Jan. 2, 1887.

CALDWELL, Jan. 2, 1887.
Mr.. BATTELL.
Dear Sir Father owned the mare YOU
refer to. She was a good-sized mare
weighed 100, perhaps a little more; was
1913 high, should think a good traveller;
could have been made to 90 in three min
utes if she had been trained. We called
her the old black mare. Father bought
her of Deacon Abner Wilcox, when she
was three years old, for, think, about
$50. The mother of her the deacon call
ed Sarah. She was black, not quite as
large as her colt, but smart as a whip to
go. We left Vermont in 1914 for the
West and sold the old black mare to a
man named Merrick-Zenith Merrick,
think lived in Bridport. The mare was
with foal from old Black Hawk when
father sold her, and her colt was what
was known as the North Horse. | don't
know who to refer you to unless it is Ed.
Wilcox of Bridport. His father raised
the mare. | was born in 1924 and lived
with father until 1S44.

|. NJ. KICKER, ESQ,
Deor Sir Yours of the 10th lust re-
ceived, and many thanks. | wish to get
more particulars as to the horses named
and | wish to know if you were knowing
to Mr.. Heath's owning Farmers Beauty,
or if YOU learned it from others:
Question. Did DR.. Heath breed Far
mer's Beauty and raise him to two years
old: Answer. DR.. Heath raised the
colt from mare which he drove until she
got killed.
g. If DR.. Heath is living give his adj
dress: if not, the address of any of his
family. Ans. DR.. Heath is dead his
son, \. Nj. Heath, lives here in Groton.
q. Did you see Farmers Beauty's
dam: If so, give her color and and give
the address of any that would be likely
to know about her. Ans. His dam was
dark bay with black points with a few
gray hairs in her tail as good mare as
ever wore harness.
q. What year was Farmers Beauty
foaled, and to whom did DR.. Heath sell
him? Ans. think he sold him to A.
&. Heath, Topsham, Vt.
Q. Who owned Pompineau, what was
his color, size and travel? How did his
stock prove? What horse sired his dam =?
Ans. J. j. Peck A; dapple bay; 1915 lbs. ;
stock first-rate; he had great endurance
for a long drive, not fast in a mile dash !:
| think the Tucker mare was sired by the
karson.
Q. The same question as to his sire, old
/ Il 4 -
color and size and had same owner; was
always ready for mile dash or 10 miles
drive, never appeared tired.
q. The same as to Ome-eye. Ans. He
was owned at Hanover, y. H., and stood
at New bury at the time he sired Pompin-
eau; very dark bay or brown. His dam
was said to be Morgan; Morgans were all
the rage here at that time.
Q. Are you sure old One-eye was by
Sherman: there was Il One-eye by Bull
rush? Ans. He was claimed to be by
old Sherman, and that was the reason
Peck hired noted mare and bred to him !;
the mare was by two-year-old colt,
grandson to Bulrush; Peck wanted both
strains of Morgan. | think One-eye by
Bulrush was gray. | got my informa-
tion from A. Nj. Heath; if you should
should address him he could probably
give all the facts and reasons for breeding
Beauty. Respectfully,
ISAAC NJ. KICKER.

copy of questions and answers as to
Farmers Beauty. There is much more
to learn. shall write a. NJ. Heath and

Among these was skull whose cheek bones
were abnormally large. Min asked the
donors where they got the CHASTITY relic. he
was told that the skull once held the vicious
brain of a murderer who was hanged for his
crime; but not one professed to know the
felons name or the manner in which the
skull was obtained. Mr.. Min has since made
many efforts to discover the name of the
murderer, but without success He uses the
skull when he plays Hamlet-New York

COLT BY THOUGHT.

ROCHESTER, VT, Feb. s, 1887.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL.
Dear Sir: Il will say a word to you
about my colt. He will be two years old
next June, the 9TH day. We weighed
him the Sd of this month and he weighed
$40 lbs; he stands lt3; his mother is
Woodbury. and Sherman Morgan. We
looked up her pedigree last week, gave
two days looking it up. We call him a
fine colt; would sell him for $500; sired
by Thought, color black; his style can
not be beaten in Windsor or Addison
counties. If we do not sell him we shall
keep him for stock. Thought is fine
stock horse. should be pleased to
have you see my colt.
V. Nj. HUBBARD.
Every colt by Thought thus far heard
from is of superior merit. We think the
above would suit some of our many cor
respondents in the West, who want a
